Prior treatment received by patients with bulimia nervosa

Article Abstract:

Recent data on the long-term outcome of bulimia nervosa (BN) patients have been somewhat discouraging because of inadequate treatment they receive prior to participation in research studies or follow-up treatment. Although BN patients received prior pharmacotherapy or psychotherapy, the findings show they were not given in sufficient dose or duration. The results are consistent with earlier studies that empirically supported treatments for anxiety and mood disorders are seldom used.

T-lymphocyte subsets in patients with abnormal body weight: longitudinal studies in anorexia nervosa and obesity

Article Abstract:

The T-lymphocytes of patients with anorexia nervosa were comparatively examined with those of dieting obese persons to determine variances in the infection risk of anorectics as opposed to other starving populations. CD4+ and CD8+ phenotypes of the subjects' T-lymphocyte cells were identified using flow cytometric analysis. Results showed that anorectics and dieters who lost weight exhibit normal CD4+ counts, However, the same type of subjects showed low CD8+ counts.
